5.00We took the English tour with Fatima. Her English was great. The tour is perfectly brief - about 75 mins, hits all the high points and doesn’t get too bogged down in the details so you have time to take photos and enjoy being in the space. Highly recommended.

5.00Very well done. We had a friendly, informative and very helpful guide. We were a small group (9 in total) so there was plenty of time to ask questions and take pictures. Tour lasted 75 minutes. We got so much more out of visiting Cordoba haven taken this tour. Would recommend.
